XSetCloseDownMode(3X11) COMMAND REFERENCE XSetCloseDownMode(3X11)



NAME
     XSetCloseDownMode, XKillClient - control clients

SYNOPSIS
     XSetCloseDownMode(display, close_mode)
           Display *display;
           int close_mode;

     XKillClient(display, resource)
           Display *display;
           XID resource;

ARGUMENTS
     close_mode
               Specifies the client close-down mode.  You can
               pass DestroyAll, RetainPermanent, or
               RetainTemporary.

     display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

     resource  Specifies any resource associated with the client
               that you want to destroy or AllTemporary.

DESCRIPTION
     The XSetCloseDownMode defines what will happen to the
     client's resources at connection close.  A connection starts
     in DestroyAll mode.  For information on what happens to the
     client's resources when the close_mode argument is
     RetainPermanent or RetainTemporary, see section 2.6.

     XSetCloseDownMode can generate a BadValue error.

     The XKillClient function forces a close-down of the client
     that created the resource if a valid resource is specified.
     If the client has already terminated in either
     RetainPermanent or RetainTemporary mode, all of the client's
     resources are destroyed.  If AllTemporary is specified, the
     resources of all clients that have terminated in
     RetainTemporary are destroyed (see section 2.6).  This
     permits implementation of window manager facilities that aid
     debugging.  A client can set its close-down mode to
     RetainTemporary.  If the client then crashes, its windows
     would not be destroyed. The programmer can then inspect the
     application's window tree and use the window manager to
     destroy the zombie windows.

     XKillClient can generate a BadValue error.

DIAGNOSTICS
     BadValue  Some numeric value falls outside the range of
               values accepted by the request.  Unless a specific
               range is specified for an argument, the full range
